Sophisticated spot for Korean BBQ, shareable plates, and upscale mains, plus bar snacks and cocktails.

THE STAFF IS BEYOND KIND and ATTENTIVE! They deserve a 10 out of 5! The service was just phenomenal. The hospitality was amazing. As we left, each individual staff member said thank you. Our waiter explained everything to us including all the sauces and menu. He saw my husband couldn’t use chopsticks and said “do you want a fork” Amazing attention to detail. Not even a single wrapper was left on the table.
My husband and I had such a good time with such a spacious table.
The food was extremely flavorful. They have amazing side dishes and the beef belly had a bold delicious flavor. We also had the kimchi stew which was so comforting on a chilly New York City night. The kimchi rice was exploding with flavors.
I immediately texted my friends raving about this place.

Excellent Korean barbecue. The meat was top quality and the mains and sides were a cut above those at any other Korean barbecue in NYC. The tables are large and comfortable.
The food was slow to come out, perhaps because they had problems with the gas line so they had to cook everything in the kitchen. They could have served the banchan first, but they didn’t.

Lovely experience at Yoon Haeundae Galbi from start to finish. Reservations were made easily on Resy. The restaurant had issues with the grills the night we went but they had great communication before and throughout our meal. The staff is friendly and very attentive. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious. They have a yuzu ade that is nice and refreshing. The Wagyu Kimchi Fried Rice was made with wagyu, egg, mozzarella cheese, and scallion. Cooked beautifully with mouth watering wagyu and a great cheese pull. The Pork Kimchi Stew had pork belly, tofu, and enoki mushrooms. A comforting and belly warming meal. There were also two dessert options and we went with the Chochung U-gua Gelato. It was topped with honey caviar, a rice cracker, rice syrup, and sesame. Will be back to try their grilled meats next time for sure. Recommend stopping in if you’re in the mood for some good eats and lovely staff.
Now for my standard comments. Location is clean and well kept. Seating is very comfortable indoors.

Pretty good experience overall. Food was delicious and photogenic. I liked the tteokbokki. The gumtang was ok and gets cold really quick. Love the banchan but not so much the lotus root salad.

Yoon Haeundae Galbi was fantastic. The service was genuinely great—everyone was friendly and on top of things the whole time. The bulgogi was insanely good, and the dumplings were some of the best I’ve had in a long time. They also give super generous portions of all the sides, which made the meal feel even better. I’d definitely go back.

Decent KBBQ. I like the way they cook the meat! I went there around 8:45 pm, so they were pretty rushed from start to finish. By around 10, the waiter served dessert before I had finished eating. Part of it may have been because it was Christmas Eve. I’ve been here many times, and most of the time I would give it a 4-star rating.

It was a bit disappointing, which was a shame because I really wanted to like it. We ordered the full set for two, including kimchi stew and a potato pancake. With the side dishes, every dish was unfortunately quite mediocre, and the BBQ was a bit tough. The highlight was definitely the servers—their service was fantastic. The ambiance was also nice, but overall, I don’t think I’ll be going back anytime soon.

This was a good korean bbq experience. Loved the dry aged short rib. The rest of the meat was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. Jap che was pretty good! Service was nice and attentive and we had a great time as a table of 8. Good korean bbq, and ok-ish price for quality of food

Me and my friend went to Yoon to celebrate our anniversary. It was a wonderful time! I’ve been to Yoon before and it was so nice to dine here again. The food is always spectacular and the staff are amazing. My personal favorite menu item is the Prime Package. The meat and side selections are superb and the value is totally there. We also ordered some potatoes which were delicious and came with the most flavorful sauce. For drinks I had the Matcha my Seoul and my friend had a beer; and yes we did have 2 rounds haha. They have the option of tap, still, or sparkling water. I personally prefer still so we got Acqua Panna. But if you want sparkling they will bring you S.Pellegrino. The entire meal is prepared for you by the staff which I prefer as I do not like to cook the meat by myself like at some other establishments. This makes for a very immersive experience where the staff are constantly interacting with you but in a way that almost seems effortless. This is due in part to the fact that every thing is cooked in increments and you are able to have the privacy of the dining experience as well in between cooking times. May I also add that all of the staff walk around with tide pens in their little pockets on their aprons and it has to be one of the cutest and most mindful things I’ve ever seen for a restaurant wait staff. I literally dropped kimchi on my cream sweater and my server handed me a tide pen to clean it up. My shirt looked as if nothing was on it after she saved me from my red stained kimchi mess haha. Lastly, as a surprise, they brought out a very delicious dessert with a candle in it to celebrate our anniversary. I believe the dessert consisted of shaved ice with a cinnamon syrup and some tasty garnishes. It was very sweet of them. I will be going back again and again. Some of the pictures are from my first dining here back in June and then the most recent visit was so good I only got one picture! Ultimately I highly recommend going to Yoon whenever you are in NYC this restaurant is right in the heart of the city and belongs on anyone’s top 5 list!

The service is absolutely top-notch, and the food is just as amazing!
I’m Korean, I’ve been missing authentic Korean flavors and sauces so much, and Yoon Haeundae Galbi truly delivers. All the side dishes and the Korean BBQ taste perfect for both Koreans and foreigners!!❤️
✨ Pro tip: After finishing your meat, you must order the potato noodles — they’re unbelievably delicious! ❤️
Also, it’s a halal-friendly restaurant with only beef, no pork Highly, highly recommended!
